Students skip class, teacher has Twitter rampage

If you're a teacher, this could be your worst nightmare.

Have you ever had a birthday when virtually no one turned up and there was this lump inside you trying to project the horror? While it wasn't a birthday, that was what happened to professor Adam Heath Avitable. Avitable who teaches GED classes - a course which covers Math, English and Science was surprised when no one showed up for his class. While some teacher would just shrug it off and call it a day, he instead took to Twitter to chronicle every single second of his suffering.
The series from the teacher and comedian has got Twitter both laughing and symphatising with him. Here are the tweets!

You know that college rule - if the professor is more than fifteen minutes late, class is canceled?

Does the opposite apply as well? pic.twitter.com/IX0QzbX37Z

Classwatch 2017. Class started 30 mins ago. No students yet. I thought one was coming but it was just an administrator. Who laughed at me.

Five more minutes have passed. I'm starting to doubt myself. Did I tell them no class? Is today Thursday? Am I dreaming? #Classwatch2017

Class started 45 mins ago. Still no students. I get paranoid. Is the door to the classroom locked?

I check it.

No.#Classwatch2017

Is everyone else in the world dead? Was there a sudden zombie attack and I survived, alone in my classroom? #Classwatch2017

A bird lands outside my window. I invite him in to learn about algebra. He declines and flies away. I hope a cat eats him. #Classwatch2017

It's been an hour. Are there gunmen outside, holding everyone hostage and keeping them from coming in?
I check.
Nope.#Classwatch2017

My sign-in sheet is as empty as my soul right now. I have to eat this candy alone. #Classwatch2017 pic.twitter.com/loUV8pX5Q5

Maybe I should just start lecturing. Students will hear talking and come in. That woudn't be crazy, right? RIGHT?! #Classwatch2017

I SWEAR TO GOD IF SOMEONE IS PULLING A PRANK ON ME I WILL probably break down and cry. #Classwatch2017
